Natalie Browne is a fourth-year medical student from Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, who is pursuing emergency medicine. Natalie first became interested in quality improvement while obtaining her MPH at the Gilling’s School of Global Public Health, where she worked on an interprofessional QI project to improve team-based care at a Federally Qualified Health Center. Natalie has since worked on other QI projects in primary care settings. This year as a Clinical Leadership in Quality and Safety Scholar, she is working with Dr. Charmaine Lewis, Medical Director of Safety and Quality and Hospitalist at the Novant New Hannover Regional Medical Center, to reduce the number of CAUTIs and CLABSIs on surgical, trauma, and ICU floors by incorporating line rounds into already existing interdisciplinary rounds.
